<p>the author of <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84582">#84582</a> asked me about moving it up in the queue ahead of the 1.54 version cut (<a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84747">#84747</a>)<br>
since it's a pretty major improvement to coverage and there aren't any others planned</p>

<p>no, beta branches from when the cut happens (i.e. when the cut lands, everything before it goes into that beta)</p>

<p>Huh. Interesting. Yeah, I am not inclined to shuffle things; a backport could be proposed, but I would be hesitant to accept it.</p>
